Is It Safe for My Dad to Take the H1N1 Flu Shot if He Has Parkinson’s Disease?
Question posed by ATP: Is it safe for my dad to take the H1N1 flu shot if he has Parkinson’s Disease?
My dad has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease for more than a year now. I was afraid to take the H1N1 flu shot because he was afraid that there could be some effects. There was a story out there about a girl had a “seasonal” flu shot and can walk backward and run but can’t walk forward. Even though she got the seasonal flu shot, he is still scared. He afraid that the flu shot can affect some of his movements. Could any flu shot affect his already worsening movements problems?
The No 1 answer:
Answer by J.D.
my advice, just stay away from the flu shots altogether, even if she did just get her seasonal shot and that was a one in a million thing, why even take the risk? H1N1 vaccine actually has like mercury and other bad things in it too.

To be honest, this could be very risky. I had a patient just the other day have “lazy” rapid eye movements a day following the H1N1 shot. She had no past medical disorders. This will just increase chances of complications for your father.

My husband has Parkinson’s Disease and all his doctors recommended getting the shot. He received it two weeks ago with no problems.
